Signings, Trades, Rumors including Suns and NBA

No kidding. Apparently beggars can be choosers!

Lol

I also think people don’t realize that we would automatically become the league black hat. And a fanbase can feed off that. When everyone else hates you, it probably feels even better when you win.

Laker fan friends used to talk OVER MY DEAD BODY about LeBron. Until he got there. And won a title. Like he has everywhere else he’s played.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Yeah, I'm leaning this way as well. We've waited 50 years for a championship, and all of you are willing to say, "Nah..." to one just because of one player?

And I can’t stand Lebron. And I’m still okay with riding him to a championship. Is it how I want to win one? No. But I want to win one.

Curt Schilling is a total Dbag but I sure love that only championship in Phoenix

Pretty much

I’ve said it before just 1 Suns Championship would mean more to me than a 5 Cardinals super bowl wins

All I need is one.

We have a great chance this year without any trade.

Suns pursuing another shooter?

Well maybe the Gordon rumors are true. If the cost is only one first Dario, and Stix - and Sarver is willing to still pay Cam, and Ayton, then I guess I would be Ok with it.

I wonder what the hell is wrong with Shamet, it's like he has lost his confidence. I think he needs a sports psychologist.

Justin Holliday suppossedly available for 2 second rounders?

That doesn't sound like a bad deal at all, if he could deal with not getting many minutes.

He impressed when the Suns played the Pacers.

He does nothing for me. I'd offer Saric, Nader and Shamet plus a first and a second (or two if it would get it done) for Torrey Craig and TJ McConnell instead. They'd probably have to use the 2nd to move Shamet and we'd need Nader's permission but it lets us keep out depth with Saric while adding two smart rotation players.

I’d do that deal in a heartbeat.

If for no other reason than to get rid of Shamet and his contract.

It's a deal to consider. I never realized the Pacers paid TJ McConnell that kind of money.

Isnt McConnell injured? I would love to have him. He can play either guard position and does work his backside off on d.

He had wrist surgery.

T.J. McConnell Undergoes Successful Surgery on Right Wrist

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell suffered an injury to his right wrist during the Pacers game against the Atlanta Hawks on December 1. McConnell visited Dr. Michelle Carlson of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York this morning, who performed successful surgery to repair a torn...

He is but the last I heard it was to be around two months for recovery and rehab and he's roughly 2 months past his wrist surgery.

What about Tyler Johnson? I thought he was one of the unsung catalysts of turning the culture around when he first landed in Phoenix. Last I can find he finished a 10day with San Antonio, so I'm guessing he's a FA?

I see him as a lateral to Elf. No point in making that move.

 

[Mainstreet]

How about Grant Riller on a two-way contract (if available) or Brad Wanamaker if the Suns waive someone.

I'd trade a 2nd round pick for Raul Neto.

Shamet can’t be moved until the summer due to his contract structure. As much as a sucker I am for trades I don’t see anything significant beyond a Payton upgrade.

 

[Mainstreet]

If there was any doubt, after tonight I think the Suns are keeping Landry Shamet.

He had 17 points on 5-10 shooting, 4-8 from 3-point range, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and only 1 turnover.

It was one of his best games as a Suns player.

The poison pill restriction doesn't prevent him from being traded it just adds a layer of complexity. The bigger problem is a lack of tradeable assets that are needed for a significant upgrade since the outgoing salary would be attach to players with negative value.

The more I think of Jalen Smith not getting his 3rd year the less sense it makes. Even if he totally crapped the bed this year I find it hard to believe no other team in the league would have been willing to roll the dice on him for straight cap, and even if they couldn't find anyone willing to do so they still could have waived him and stretched his deal to minimize impact. Now the team has a promising young player putting in decent production who will not be here next year and no team that views him as a long term piece would want to trade for.

Uh. Great and all but it's just one game.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, a new normal in basketball begins with a single game. Or so we hope.
